1.9 - 2.9% Developer: Intensive Tinting
An oxidant with up to 1.9 - 2.9% is very suitable for tinting hair. Grey hair is not completely covered with this tint and can shine through. This developer is suitable if you want to colour your hair tone-in-tone, darker or if you do not have grey hair.
1.9 - 2.9% Developer: Intensive tints
3 - 4 % developer: light colouring tone in tone.
Lightening of the hair colour is not or hardly possible with a developer strength of 3 - 4%. Grey hair is also not or only slightly covered. This oxydant is therefore suitable for tone-in-tone colouring as well as for darker colouring. Grey hair is not or only very slightly covered.
3-4% Oxydant products
6% developer: Permanent colouring tone on tone, darker or up to one tone lighter
Grey hair can be covered with a 6% oxydant. This is done by oxidising the hair more with the help of the developer. For complete grey hair coverage, the 6% Oxydant must be mixed with a double-pigmented hair colour. You can recognise double-pigmented hair colours by the double numbers or double letters after the number.

9% developer: permanent colouring two to three shades lighter
With a 9% developer you can colour your hair two to three shades lighter.
Please note the following: The hair colour is only able to lighten natural hair. Hair that has already been coloured cannot be lightened with hair colour and must first be bleached.
